Route 66

A nice adventure route at a forgiving grade,

Route 66

is a quality line that ascends solid rock using jams, finger locks, stemming, and face climbing.

Climb an open dihedral for about 35 feet to a grunting finish at a resting ledge. Traverse left on this ledge and gain a upward, right leaning hand crack. Climb this crack to another resting ledge (mind your rope drag). From this point, move right on the ledge to a heavily featured face. Climb this unprotected for 15 feet to a good stance. Build an anchor on top.

Descend via a walk towards the east and rap off of the

Two Bits

anchor. If that anchor is busy you can also walk over and rap

Stretch Marks

or take on a "heady" scramble to down-climb on the northwest end.

Route 66

if the first route you encounter when reaching the Northern Upper Breadloaves. It climbs the obvious dihedral starting straight from the ground and sits just left of a wide crack/chimney.

Single rack to about 3", a few extra hand sized cams would be nice, and good selection of runners.
